Special 500th Episode of The Beginner Photography Podcast with Jim and Kim

#500 In this episode of the podcast I asked BPP community
moderators Jim Sinicki and Kim Irish to join me in a fun
discussion about photography and the community. They asked you,
members of the BPP community questions and I do my best to answer
them.

THE BIG IDEAS
Embrace Discomfort in Your Photography Journey:
Challenging environments yield unique opportunities. Whether it’s a
rugged landscape or dense urban streets, discomfort can push your
creative boundaries.

Start planning a photo expedition to a challenging location,
like a local street photography workshop or a remote nature hike.

Prepare for these conditions with proper gear and mental
readiness to turn discomfort into creative success.

Tackle Imposter Syndrome Head-On: Feelings of doubt are
common, especially when pricing your work or comparing yourself to
others. Recognizing them as part of the journey can reduce their
power.

Reflect on your achievements and client feedback regularly to
build confidence.

Engage with a supportive photography community for
encouragement and constructive feedback.

Value Your Work Appropriately: Pricing should reflect
the quality and effort you put into your photography. Reassessing
your rates can prevent undervaluation and communicate
professionalism.

Conduct market research to understand the going rates for
comparable work.

Don’t be afraid to incrementally increase your prices and
communicate the value you bring to clients.
